Community Magic is working to develop a CrowdHelping
 
website as a free public service similar to existing social
 
media. It is intended to enable both professional helpers
 
and community resource people to identify and connect
 
with each other to better serve their clients. It will allow
 
each user to bring a large network of helpful people into play.
 
The tools provided by the system will enable users to organize, maintain and
 
share consensually obtained information about the people in their extended
 
network of personal/professional helpers and helpees.
 
Users will be able to help people more effectively by making appropriate
 
referrals to other helpers, community resources, and supportive services.
 
The Community Magic CrowdHelping system will maintain privacy and
 
provide anonymity while giving helpers the option to share helpee
 
information when authorized.
 
After many years of conceptual design, Community Magic is now
 
approaching a software development stage for the CrowdHelping site. At this
 
stage we are:
 
1. Promoting the initiative via word-of-mouth, community meetings,
 
events, social media, and the existing <nowiki>http://CommunityMagic.org</nowiki>
 
website;
 
2. Identifying professional social workers, counselors, religious leaders
 
and community helpers who would use Community Magic’s
 
CrowdHelping system to share the benefits with the people they serve;
 
3. Seeking Letters of Support from social service organizations,
 
community groups and helpers endorsing this initiative; and,
 
4. Raising funds to cover software development, startup costs and
 
operational expenses.
 
Community Magic’s CrowdHelping website will be a FREE Service available
 
for all professional and community-based helpful people. If you like the
 
proposed initiative, please consider writing a letter of support.
 
For more details about how this service might impact you and the people you
 
serve, contact:
